"Mr President, Commissioner, at the European Council in Lisbon the desire was expressed to harmonise and standardise the capitalist format for all Member States of the EU. The Lisbon method was the opening up of markets and only one way to act was proposed. It is the coordination of economic and social policy by placing special emphasis on the role of the private sector. We might agree with the rapporteur that only an inadequate analysis of whether the same method suits all has been carried out. Different countries have different public services and operate on different principles regarding social welfare. In the Nordic welfare states public services are understood broadly to include pensions, healthcare, schools and childcare. The Catholic countries, with their traditions of care within the family, should not come and tell us in the Nordic countries that our taxes are too high. The privatisation method expounded at Lisbon is not going to provide better services in our part of the world. EU declarations do not create socially secure life. For that reason in the eyes of the rightist hegemony the free Member States might lack the desire – and, in fact, it is only right that they do – to act on declarations that would pulverise people’s basic social security."@en1
